# Azure DevOps {% hint style="warning" %} You must use the `git@...` or `ssh:...` version of your git URL, not the `https://...` version. Paradime uses the SSH protocol to clone repositories, so Paradime will be unable to clone repos supplied with the HTTP protocol. {% endhint %} To add a deploy key to an Azure DevOps account, navigate to the SSH public keys page in the User Settings of your user's Azure DevOps account or a service user's account. {% hint style="success" %} We advise creating a service account user in your Azure DevOps account like **`paradime.auzuredevops.maintainer@yourcompany.com`** with write access to the repository and let this user own the SSH key. {% endhint %} {% embed url="" %}

Click the + New Key button to add a new SSH key for the repository. Enter the SSH key generated by Paradime and click hte `Save` button. After adding this key, Paradime will be able to read and write files in your dbt™️ project.
